In Barabbas (1961), the crucifixion scene captured a real solar eclipse, as director Richard Fleischer delayed production to film it on February 15, 1961, using its eerie darkness to enhance the moment. No CGI. No tricks.

@Mickey_Central Granted I am old - so i like the look of the traditional style. But I think they both have their place - Just hope the traditional does not disappear completely.

Do you prefer classic Disney animation or the computer-animated style?

@history_under Please keep being you!! Pray you have a blessed Good Friday

This morning, I made a stop at the monument to Father Corby while I was out on the Gettysburg battlefield listening for turkeys. Every once in awhile, you all get a little of my personality along with the history. So sometimes I may talk about hunting or steaks or music or whatever. And sometimes, my Christian faith bleeds through. A little while back, I had someone send me a rather strongly worded message that they were done with my channel because they didn’t need any religion with their history. I found that to be curious. Even if you are an atheist, you can’t deny how elements of faith are interwoven into the fabric of history. You don’t have to believe it, but to say that history and religion are completely divorced from one another is kind of wild. The statue of Father Corby is a good reminder of that. I hope that people know that my faith doesn’t prevent anyone from enjoying the channel and learning from it. Some of my best friends are atheists. I have some close friends who are vegan or who listen to music that I hate or who think that beans for breakfast is perfectly acceptable. None of the disagreements that I have with these people are barriers that prevent me from enjoying their company or learning from them. On the contrary, the relationships that I have with them has enriched my life in countless ways. With all of that being said, today is Good Friday where Christians around the world are remembering the crucifixion of Christ. So I’ll leave you with one of my favorite verses from the Bible that encapsulates the meaning of this day. "God made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Good Friday That head, which angels with ceaseless praise adorn, Is pierced with crowded thorns. That face, which our God with grace and beauty lit, Is marred by sinners’ spit. Those eyes, outshining the sun’s most piercing light, Are dull as sable night. Those ears, accustomed to praise from heaven’s host, Must hear his haters boast. That mouth, whose wisdom the wisest could enthrall, Tastes vinegar and gall. Those feet, whose footstool is this terrestrial sphere, To bloody wood adhere. Those hands, which stretched out the heavens like a tent, By spikes in twain are rent. That tongue, uninjured, shall cry from that cursed tree, A prayer of love for me.

Satan in Eden: “Take and eat.” Jesus at Last Supper: “Take and eat.” — @LigonDuncan 🔥

Today we remember that God washes our feet. The fingers that crafted the universe scrub scum from between toes. The hands that painted the cosmos wash feet painted with dirt and sweat. The One before whom all angels bow gets on his knees to labor as a slave. We become clean, he becomes filthy. In doing this, Jesus our God gives us a humble epiphany, a revelation of who he is. He is the God who makes his glory visible in lowliness and servitude. He is the God who gives -his cheek to the betraying lips of Judas -his face to the slapping hand of the high priest -his countenance to the spit of the Sanhedrin. He is the God who gives -his head to the thorns -his feet to the spikes -his side to the spear. He is the God who embraces rejection, shame, torture, and death, to give himself to you. And here is why: because that’s who God is. He is the God who is love. Therefore he loves you by giving to you. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son. What he gives you is nothing less than himself. God gives, you receive. This is everything. He not only washes your feet; he washes you clean, body and soul, through the holy bath in his name. He fills the baptismal font with water from his spear-pierced side and kneels there to wash off the dirt and sweat and grime of your evil. He feeds you himself, his body, his blood. Every natural food we take into our bodies is transformed into our bodies. We don't become corn on the cob or hamburgers. But the supper of our Lord is different. This food transforms you into that which it is. You, the church, are the body of Christ. You are what you eat. So, come and eat. Come and drink. Come to the lowly God who has joined you in your lowliness that he might exalt you in himself. On Maundy Thursday, let us recall, with thanksgiving, how fitting it all is: How fitting that humanity, which plunged into death by eating forbidden fruit, should receive life and immortality by a meal provided by our Savior, the Last Adam. How fitting that sinners, their unity rent asunder by hatred and violence, should be gathered into one communion by partaking of the one loaf, baked from many scattered grains. How fitting that we, who are hard pressed and beaten down by evil, should be comforted and uplifted by drinking from the Lord’s cup, filled with the blood of grapes that have been trampled and pressed underfoot. How divinely and beautifully fitting, on this holy Thursday, that we have our feet lovingly washed by the very God from whom we once ran in terror and shame. Here is our God, Jesus Christ, who comes not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

@history_under Yea but those same muppets will claim this one is also fake.

Godspeed, Artemis II. We are praying for you. As you circle the Moon, do us a favor and snap a few pictures of the lunar roving vehicles and flags that were left up there. We’d like to show them to a few of these muppets that you left with us back here on Earth. Gosh, this is exciting.

@MattCapps I can't judge 😆

Went to the audiologist this morning for a hearing test. My hearing is ok, thankfully. While sitting in the waiting room, I overheard this exchange while another patient was checking in: Receptionist: “Any fever, sore throat, or coughing this morning?” Patient: “Well, I did have two cups this morning.” Receptionist: “Excuse me?” Patient: “Was I not supposed to have coffee?” Receptionist: “Coughing. I said coughing.” Looks like that patient was at the right place. 😂

There are many good arguments for the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, but all are not equally compelling. Here's the one I find the most persuasive: wp.me/p2dVaB-4hC
